State reports first Lebanon County swine-flu death

I am curious....I'm not looking for the persons name, but I would like to know their age and if they had underlying health conditions.

I totally agree - some people are not sure if they want to get it for their kids or not. what do you people think, I heard it has not been tested enough to get it for your young children. I have also heard others say that you need to get it for your kids!

That is why I am curious. I have been struggling with this decision. I keep going back and forth as to whether or not I want my son to have it. I am leaning towards NO. It has not been tested enough and I think they are blowing things out of proportion. When you get sick, they no longer test to find out if it is swine vs. seasonal. If this person had underlying health problems they could have very well died from the seasonl flu too. It is all too confusing. I am sorry for this families loss but I would like some details. They can keep the name, I just want the age and overall halth of this person. Are you going to get the shot for your children?

There was a 5 year old child from Adams County that died from complications of swine flu last Saturday! I hope the vaccine is available in time to save my children! I have no doubt the parents of that child hoped that vaccine was available in time to save him! I have a child who has a underlying medical condition and each day that goes by and she does not have that vaccine I worry. You should worry to because the child that died from Adams county was a healthy child.

that 5 year old child died due to mrsa. he was in the hospital for pneumonia and flu like symptoms they are unsure if swine flu was a part of his death.

I would also like to know the persons age and general area they lived in, i think we as citizens have the right to know.

Any info. available yet?

This is from PennLive: A Lebanon County resident is the first midstate adult to die from swine flu, the state Department of Health confirmed Friday.
It says Adult.
